Default Re: Buyer Beware, Ebay Auctions

There seem to be quite a few non car people looking for an investment. They are easy pickings for these guys. If people knew that this site existed and checked here first, odds are that they would not get burned. Like everything else, you have to do your homework before buying. A lot of people don't and pay the price. Buy Canadian. It's the safest way.

Looks like a re-body or had the VIN plate switched. Look for the hidden VIN #'s.

I agree that there should be a place for potential buyers
to learn of the blatent fakes. We all know the sites,
don't we. But then, we aren't the ones who need that help.
Perhaps the folks at eBay or Barrett-Jackson would offer to
link potential buyers with this and other sites to protect
their buyers investments.

What the hell am I saying If they did that, then
they wouldn't sell as many cars and get those big commission
checks.

It will forever be "buyer beware".
